Do you want to know what vitamins to take to compensate when you
just can't eat right? Do you want to know what healthy food choices you should
make? Do you know what a "healthy diet" really is? Or what to do when you eat at your favorite fast
food restaurant? What you can do to combat the assault on our bodies of everyday modern
living which includes all the deficiencies created by medications, pollution,
processed foods, etc. Do you want to improve your health, but don't know where to start? That
is what McVitamins.com is about.

We want to get you on the
road to health - sometimes that means finding what deficiencies you have
to fix before you can start to build health - but we are determined to help you find your
path.

We believe in
Functional Medicine. It is defined as: "affecting the operation, rather than the structure, of an
organ" In other words, you can address a stomach
ulcer by surgery, cutting out the damaged area - affecting the
structure - or you can address the function of the stomach so the
body is not creating ulcers.

Functional
Medicine is: "Medical practice or treatments that focus on optimal functioning of the body and its organs, usually involving systems of holistic or alternative medicine."

"You don't have to have a disease to benefit from functional medicine"

The focus of functional medicine is promoting health beyond just the absence of disease.
The focus is finding the cause of the problem and getting the body
to fix that. You might need to focus on building healthy
nerves when they are painful or addressing heavy metal toxicity
when it is raising blood pressure. There are many causes of
symptoms. Finding the actual cause and addressing it by
building health is functional medicine.

Instead of trying to prevent or stop disease, isn’t it better to start building health. As you build health, you will make changes for the better on a continual basis.

The purpose of our site is giving you information on how you can use nutrition
to survive the fast food lifestyle that we live in along with
all the problems that comes along with that life style.

In
the past, a person's life expectancy was much lower than today. This was due to the fact that many people died at an early age due to infections, plagues and accidents. That changed as a lot of the deadly diseases were eradiated by improved
public hygiene with adequate supply of clean water and the safe
disposal of sewage. Added to that were an understanding of and
remedies for infections and
a lowered accident rate due to safety rules and
procedures.

Now we "live longer", but really most people die a slow progressive
death. Most people live with and die of degenerative diseases from
other causes - high blood pressure, heart disease,
diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer, etc.

“Degenerative diseases – heart attacks, arteriosclerosis,
cancer, stroke, arthritis, hypertension, ulcers, and all the rest
– have replaced infectious diseases as the major enemies of life
and destroyers of its quality.”

Even if you were exposed to toxins,
the body should be able handle it with a healthy immune system (which is hard
to have with poor nutrition). Cellular malnutrition is a prominent cause of
ill health. So, what do you need to do?

We believe in is
building good health. When you build good
health, disease tends to fade away. The body needs
certain nutrients in order to function, repair itself and remain healthy. When you don't
get those nutrients in the food you eat, or when you build up toxins
which your body has to fight (toxins from processed food, drugs, or
the air you breathe), your body depletes itself of the nutrients
that it needs to be healthy. Even medical drugs have many side
effects due to the nutritional deficiencies that they
create.

Sometimes you need more of specific nutrients. If you
drive your car down the road at a moderate pace, you use up a
certain amount of gasoline. If, however, you take that car
onto the freeway and speed the same amount of miles, you will use up
more of gasoline. It is similar with the body. You need certain nutrients
to survive. If you are exposed to toxins, you need certain specific nutrients. If you have physical stress or mental
stress, you need more nutrients.

So, what do you need to
survive?

We offer you information on how to
start to improve your health and to know what nutrients to take. We also have our RECOMMENDED
feature. We have researched various vitamins, minerals, herbal
and various other formulas and when
we find what works best, we pass it on. When we find a
nutrition book worth reading we will also pass it on.
